Hum? I fail to see the link. It should be strickly equivalent, with the added bonus that you can write and execute a test as a normal user. Actually, as Daniel said on IRC, we'd most likely want to run quite a few of the tests with both a fd from card0 and a fd from the render node to ensure that we can function correctly from the render node -- Damien _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
